Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Habitat preference is warm middle and low veldt streams and larger pools over muddy bottoms (Ref. 1440), prefers quiet or standing waters of larger rivers; deep standing pools with a muddy subtrate are typical habitat (Ref. 52193). It feeds on organic sediments (Ref. 52193). Moves up rain-swollen rivers to breed (Ref. 7248, 52193).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00933 (0.00305 - 0.02858), b=3.01 (2.76 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (27 of 100).
